MyPillow, the Minnesota manufacturer of specialty pillows, linens, and other household products, said that it is answering the call for more face masks as the country continues to deal with the global coronavirus pandemic.

The company announced Tuesday on Twitter that it is making face masks for hospitals across the country. MyPillow joins a growing list of private companies pitching in to address the shortage of face masks that U.S. healthcare professionals are facing as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to climb.

It remains unclear what kind of face mask MyPillow is making. Healthcare professionals are asking for the N95 respirator mask, which are in short supply around the country. The N95 face mask provides a more snug fit than other kinds of surgical masks, providing better protection from airborne pathogens.

A MyPillow spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

If Mike doesn't get FDA and CDC approval, the masks will have to be thrown away.  Oh, OSHA, too.

And if they are not the most comfortable, restful face masks you've ever used, Mike will refund 100% of your purchase price!

I understand health care workers are using the donated homemade cloth masks over their "approved" masks. They're the ones asking for them. I've wondered if the cloth masks couldn't also be donated to nursing homes for their residents. Better than nothing, isn't it?

I sewed my first mask today. Trust me, my sewing skills are not great, but it is kind of stylish.

Picture please?

What will simple cloth masks do, they lower the projectile range of spreaders... they do very little for other folks. Defense - little or next to zero... Offense - lower cough radius fairly well to greatly.

Picture please?

Maybe. We'll see.

Also interested in seeing your mask... probable cause I am somewhat jealous of other's abilities in sewing... I just make a mess of things.

My sewing skills aren't great. I'm going to make another today, which should be easier. I figure if Mr. M or I gets sick, it might help a little in regarding the virus-laden droplets from flying about the room.

I made two masks, and am not happy with either one, to be honest.
  But here I am.

Neat!
Is that a bionic eye and does it get in the way?
(Just kidding) 
Thank You for the pic.

Looks fine to me, like how far it wraps under the chin. Thanks for the ping.

Here is a free picture site I use to host my pics... it can resize them too. I use the 320 or 640 sizes on forum.

@mountaineer

P.S. If I looked half as decent as you do, I would show my mug on forum without fear.

I wanted it sized small!!

It turned out better than the one on the beer bottle....
